A sturdy display-oriented serif with pronounced contrast and sharply cut, wedge-like serifs. Strokes alternate between thick verticals and finer connecting hairlines, giving the letterforms a crisp, carved rhythm. Curves are full and slightly squarish in their transitions, with tapered terminals and occasional pointed joints, producing a lively but controlled texture. Uppercase proportions are broad and confident, while the lowercase maintains a conventional structure with compact joins and robust bowls that hold up well at larger sizes.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where its sharp serifs and contrast can be appreciated, especially in editorial layouts and book or magazine covers. It can also serve branding and poster typography that needs a classic, authoritative voice with crisp detail. For longer passages, it will perform best when set with comfortable leading and not-too-tight tracking to preserve its pointed features.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial, with a stately, slightly dramatic presence. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast suggest heritage printing and formal headings, while the energetic tapering adds a hint of theatrical flair without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with elevated contrast and sculpted, wedge-like detailing, prioritizing presence and clarity in display and editorial contexts. Its forms balance traditional construction with sharpened terminals to create a confident, attention-holding texture.
The numerals share the same strong contrast and pointed finishing, creating cohesive emphasis in mixed text. In the sample setting, the face produces a dark, authoritative color with clear word shapes, though the sharp details read most distinctly when given sufficient size and spacing.
